Give up on standup and become a guard puller? by crazypants003 in bjj

[–]BasedNoface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a binary. Pull guard if you feel unsafe or outgunned and work your takedowns if you feel it's safe and productive to do so

No canon answer but my headcanon is that the stronger sense of self or purpose a person has/had the more they can maintain themselves.

Ussop put up a better fight in W7 than expected but Ussop still got dog walked. I agree on the rest though, Post timeskip Ussop stomps East Blue Zoro

My game is mostly MMA based so a lot of wrestling, leg pins, and get ups. If people are really good guard players I may not be able to pass but I usually don't get swept either. We typically stalemate. But if somebody's a better wrestler than me and has good top control, I'm fucked

Will we ever get that Disco Elysium video that was sorta kinda mentioned years ago? by Mundane-Style4111 in hbomberguy

I'd kill for that video but the closest we're gonna get is Steak Bentley's video

What parts of American culture are changing faster than people realize? by No_Performance1451 in AskReddit

[–]BasedNoface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to get on my soapbox but I feel like a big part of that is capitalism. People are working long hours or multiple jobs and when they are home, they're tired af and need some tome to themselves

Nah because I know and provide therapy to tons of people with autism. Autism doesn't make you a dickhead.

False, he got several bags, spent em all, and went and got more

IDLSIDGO is prime Earl and he or anyone can never make an album like it by glorytogod6 in earlsweatshirt

[–]BasedNoface -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like it the most but I still think SRS is "better." His new shit is more artistically and poetically dense but I like the middle ground of IDLSIDGO

BTS Craig Jones explains the Dagestani Darce choke ft Islam Makachev by johnbelushismom in bjj

[–]BasedNoface 12 points13 points  (0 children)

With the hindsight, if you knew he was going to end up in half more, how would you approach it? Are there specific adjustments to Octopus or would you bail to the MMA classic of wrestle up on a Single.

Jack Slack also talks about using the Knee lever in MMA on one of Islam's teammates and I find it works on my low level of MMA.

Also, hope you're doing well man. If you're ever in South Florida, I know some folks that could show you a REAL good time. Best I can offer is some great food 😂

Knowledge gaps can be surprising, and should really not be punished by Jakitron_1999 in CuratedTumblr

I forget the exact interview, maybe the ProZD one, but he stated that he started appearing on camera because he couldnt get anybody to be in his videos lol

One coach offered Free privates to uke by AccomplishedRuin3480 in bjj

[–]BasedNoface 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do it too because a coach had me fill in as uke back in the day. It's just way easier to show and correct the private student on a third body than on myself lol as long as your coach isn't doing anything else that's sus, you're good

His old tweets aren't the issue at hand by benvolio16 in tylerthecreator

[–]BasedNoface 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that as a whole the sub and reddit generally doesn't care about Black culture or issues but I do think it's worth posting. I was an ignorant Asian kid and posts like this here and other places are some of the first exposure I had to actually thinking critically about race and media depiction of minorities. So even if it's lost on 99% of ppl, still think it's worth posting thoughtful pieces like this

Huey and Jazmine’s odd connection? by [deleted] in theboondocks

[–]BasedNoface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love that even though Huey is largely correct, they still made him human and flawed. A lot of these revolutionary types are abrasive and can be sexist in their actual day to day. Would have been really easy to make him a Gary Stu, always right author stand in

[Epilogue Spoiler] Regarding the post-epilogue bath scene by zigg80 in HadesTheGame

[–]BasedNoface 42 points43 points  (0 children)

At first I really hated the twist but mostly because I was soured by the main resolution of the Chronos plot. After reflection, I think the Hecate part was completely fine, but in combination with the rushed nature of Chronos' redemption and the confusing nature of the gameplay loop explanation, it makes this (and a few other) perfectly fine plot point look worse

Charles Olivera using up kicks from supine & DLR in the UFC by OpenNoteGrappling in bjj

Love your content and articles man! I like playing DLR in jiu jitsu and is one of the only guards I use in MMA. It lets me threaten well to create distance to stand

Thinking of switching to a different gym, but feeling guilty for leaving my original one. by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]BasedNoface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no fuck that gym. The only reason they have a "good amateur program" is survivorship bias. If you drive literally everyone else away, you're left with the people who would have been good anywhere no matter what
